A complete ticket scanning inbox in 30 minutes

Pokerbase needed a full ticket scanning inbox for their React Native app. Backend API, frontend screens, tests, security review, and a deploy-ready build. A senior developer estimated 8 hours. We delivered it in 30 minutes, and caught a feature gap the original spec missed.

The challenge

Build a ticket scanning inbox from scratch

Pokerbase is a poker session management app built with React Native. Their users needed a way to scan physical tickets, store them in an inbox, and link them to poker sessions, either during session creation or retroactively.

The feature crossed the whole stack: a new database schema, REST API endpoints, React Native screens with camera integration for scanning, navigation updates, and proper test coverage. Security mattered; the tickets contain financial data.

A senior developer estimated 8 hours. That's a full work day blocked on a single feature.

What we delivered

  • Backend API & database schema
  • React Native screens & navigation
  • QR code scanning integration
  • Automated test suite
  • Security review & auth checks
  • Feature enhancement caught during review

Execution timeline

From requirement to production, in 30 minutes

How the 30 minutes broke down, from first requirement analysis to a deploy-ready build.

  1. 1
    0–10 min
    Requirement refinement & architecture

    We analyzed the ticket scanning inbox requirement. During analysis we spotted a gap: the original spec only covered creating new sessions from inbox tickets, not linking tickets to existing sessions. We designed the data model and user flow before writing any code.

  2. 2
    10–25 min
    Full implementation

    Backend API endpoints and database schema. React Native screens: inbox list, ticket detail, and the linking flow. Test cases written in parallel using TDD. Auth concerns on the new endpoints flagged and resolved. Build pipeline configured.

  3. 3
    25–30 min
    Human review & iteration

    The reviewer tested the feature in the app, flagged a color scheme inconsistency, and approved the feature enhancement spotted during analysis. Ready to ship.
